1974 Times Lit. Suppl. 25 Jan. 69/2 The sources of Mr Gordon's off-the-peg technique are fairly clear: some Kafka; the Burroughs scissors; but mostly the nouveau roman. The novel, so this modish dogma asserts, is a ‘vision of things’, and the universe no more than the sum of the author's sensations.

1985 Cincinnati Enquirer 18 Oct. a 3/1 He became..an exponent in the late 1950s of the French ‘nouveau roman,’ or ‘new novel’ style which did away with conventional concepts of narrative structure, plot and character development.

2000 N.Y. Times Mag. 10 Sept. 39/2 The nouveau roman—a plotless, characterless exercise in abstraction—is widely considered an unreadable snooze.
